Lead-acid technology in the FB741

Inside, the FB741 is classic lead-acid: liquid electrolyte and lead plates. It is a robust, well-known technology with a good capacity-to-price ratio, and still the basis of most cars, trucks and traction equipment.

What to look at before buying the FB741

  • If your car has Start-Stop, the FB741 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.
  • Check the EN amps on your battery: if it says 680 A or less, the FB741 covers your engine.
  • Capacity of the FB741: 74 Ah; the same as your current battery or slightly more is fine.
  • With the terminals facing you, the positive terminal of the FB741 is on the left.
  • Length, width and height of the FB741: 278 × 175 × 190 mm (European case size L3).
